[QUOTE="skittles, post: 580532, member: 2484"] Wow, I have to say thankyou to all of you for your great advice. I am feeling more in control than I have in awhile. I talked to my difficult child last time he called to put him on notice as to my limits. I havent sat down with his girlfriend yet though i told her last week i would take her out for her grocery shopping on the 20th when her cheque comes in but i would not be avaiable til then as i am busy. I have refused to answer my phone all week. I have kept it on in case of true emergencies but havent found a reason to answer. Shes texted or called four days in a row for various things, she wanted me to come change her furnace filter (a very obvious ploy just to get me over there-I dont think she even knows what a furnace filter is), then she asked for lice shampoo, says all the kids have lice, then shes out of milk and babywipes. I think she got the message as after that I havent heard from her in several days now. Its been a whole weeek since ive seen the kids, missing them terribly and a little worried but I have really enjoyed some downtime and a chance to reconnect with myself. I know I still have to have a serious discussion with her which I plan to do before we go shopping, and I know I may have to to bring cas back in the picture. I also know she will test my resolve and push the limits I set and probably force me to bring in cas, but so be it. Again thankyou all for the support and advice. [/QUOTE]
